Hydra Soldier Remake (Playermodel + NPC)

Description
A remake of a soldier model used in that one famous E3 Hydra scene, the model itself is a remake based on only a handful of screens and the E3 video itself that are available to the public, however the textures for the soldier are completely original from the archives, being almost identical to the 2002 soldier besides the head and hands.

This didnt take me long to finish, its a very simple but well made model, just was a tad lazy and procrastinating porting it over with the usual stuff, and the screenshots are mostly shared with the original gamebanana submission besides the ones that show more exclusive to the gmod version stuff (Xinus has better presentation than i do xd).

Chances are, you could likely find a good model to use if you look hard enough, but I understand if you don't wanna do it.

Different hand proportions, wouldnt look good

in retrospect, I should have specified maybe not from scratch, that would be the extra mile.

A thought came to me that maybe you could do something as simple as cutting the extra finger off the HEV Hand part and simply taking the index finger from the default Citizen C_Hands to replace it.

Model based C_hands are ugly and horrible so no, also i dont see that error and besides i merely just ported the model because i liked it.

besides the hands are the way they are because i liked the hands setup since it quality wise matched the HEV arms and i wanted it to be HL2 styled, also like why would i model hands from scratch???

(Also, the finger posing has an error on which a poly of the index finger is connected to the model's middle finger.)

I wonder if you could take the hands directly off the model or even model new hands based off the third person ones?

The hand uses the HEV hand, all the fingers use the same finger texture on the sheet

What do you mean?

Also if you were to update this now, would you be able to remedy the problem?

UV limitations

I noticed something about the C_Hands.

The Hydra Soldier's model actually has an exposed trigger finger that isn't translated onto the C_Hands.
